[JWplugins] Plug-in update: JW Accidentals v1.11

[Bill Spencer]

Agreed, that would certainly help, and ideally we would just be able to tweak both the baselines and kerning of this type of chord symbol, among many other needed improvements to the chord symbol tool.

I’d like to see the combined chord symbol / bass note take less horizontal space by changing the angle of the slash to one that is more nearly (though not quite) horizontal and moving the chord symbol/bass note spacing closer together horizontally.  That’s how I would do it by hand.  The 45° slash spreads things further apart horizontally than I think is either necessary or practical, and it still takes up a lot of vertical space too.  Just my 2c.

I suppose a plugin would supply the slash as an expression and move the top and bottom parts closer together, because I think the distance with the slash is hardwired and can't be accessed.
